About this property

The Slanted House - Charming and Cozy!

Our tranquil 1860 suite is newly remodeled and provides a relaxing stay for 1 to 3 people. Set alongside Cincinnati OH and thriving MainStrasse Village in Covington KY, this charming suite is located next to everything else cool and trendy in Downtown, Bellevue and Newport! It’s only four blocks from the Ohio River.

THE SPACE

The Slanted House is perfect for a small group to solo travelers, business trips, families with kids, and furry friends. You’ll feel like you’re at home with a fully-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, outdoor patio, Netflix on Apple TV, Alexa through out, complimentary drinks, coffee, snacks and more!

This suite is located on the first floor of a two-family and allows for super easy on-street parking right in front of the home. There is relaxing patio space located alongside the row house for sipping cocktails or coffee.

BE A GEEK in this Smart Home and control the Hue Lighting, limitless music, and house temperature with your personal assistant Alexa. There is also extremely high-speed wireless internet and a multi-port USB station for charging up devices. For your ENTERTAINMENT, we offer free Netflix, Apple TV, and have an antenna for local channels. Feel free to log into your own HULU, HBO, Sling, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc. accounts as well. Note: we do not have cable.

Snuggle up in a gel-infused memory foam queen-size bed in the BEDROOM then ask Alexa to help you drift away with sleep sounds or soft music. There is a desk in the bedroom for private workspace. Extra blankets and a twin-size camping cot can be found in the closet. If using the sofa to sleep, you must cover it with the provided linens in the towel closet.

The LIVING ROOM has a 55-inch Apple TV, games, puzzles, and toys for the kiddos. We provide the popcorn! Enjoy a little something extra most places don’t have …. our foot massager! Ahhhhhhh.

In the BATHROOM we provide all towels, linens, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush / toothpaste, and bath gel so you don’t have to tote them. Enjoy the personalized tall shower with many unique settings such as waterfall and massage.

The KITCHEN is decked out with everything you’ll need for preparing meals at home. If it’s not there, we want to know so we can add it! Take a peek through our cabinets and drawers - you’ll find spices and herbs, pots ’n pans, baking dishes, cutting boards, knives, and many other helpful items. We offer a Cuisinart single serve coffee maker, designed to brew a coffee pod (provided) or fresh whole beans (provided). It brews both! We also have a hot/cold milk frother (buy your favorite dairy or non-dairy at Circle K around the corner on Russell St. or at the gas station a few houses up toward Johnson St.).

Want to add a couple more guests? See if Aways Friday is available upstairs and enjoy the entire house together. We also have The Tres House and House of Liebe one street over …. they sleep 6 each.

Easy on-street parking! You’ll almost always find a spot in front of the house. Note - On Mondays (from 8am - 10am), they do street cleaning on the left so you have to park on the right side of 5th Street. On Tuesdays (from 8am - 10am), they clean the other side (the right) so you have to park on the left side of 5th Street.

If you do plan to stay with a pet, please mention it so we can discuss specifics. No cats, dogs only. Note the number of pets at the time of your inquiry or reservation (2 dog limit please.) We charge a Pet Resort Fee of $20 per stay.

We had such a great time staying in the slanted house. It really is a nice spot if you’re looking to go to a bengals game and hit up some bars and restaurants after. Shuttle picks you up right down the road and takes you straight there for $1 a person.

About the host

Hosted by Vicky or Doug

Host profile image
Family of 4 from the Greater Cincinnati Area!

Doug is an amazing film-maker, composer and sound guy; Vicky was a top podcaster on iTunes and blogger for 10 yrs focusing on "What Really Matters"; Aidan is our charming, handsome guy - a head pastry chef, supreme foodie, tech-geek, dog whisperer and all-around good human being loved by all; and Ellie is our adorable little princess - nick-named "Friday" for believing every day can be Friday when you're doing what you love. She loves music, her friends, art, pets and school. And then there is Granny (a.k.a. Linda) who is #5 to our Airbnb Venture. Granny is retired and loves to help at the Airbnbs when she can. It's her FREE Thornton gym membership. She loves meeting guests and takes as much pride in hosting our homes as the rest of us.

We all LOVE food, movies, travel, people, and the city we live in! We have been landlords for over 25 years and our first Airbnb (House of Liebe - love in German) was the first home we bought together in Covington. The other half of this historic two-family is our other Airbnb (The Tres House - tres for three floors and our third Airbnb). It has been so much fun and successful we opened up two others, just a street over (The Slanted House and Always Friday - of course named after Ellie). And yes, The Slanted House does lean a little to the west if you are looking at it from across the street. So yes - we love hosting on Airbnb and always beautify-ing (a.k.a. cleaning) our homes to share with others.

Why they chose this property

Mutter Gottes Kirche, or Mother of God Church, was founded by German immigrants to Covington in 1841. The surrounding neighborhoods of treelined streets and brick town homes is named for this beautiful landmark. Mutter Gottes neighborhood was one of the first residential expansions of Covington, and most structures there were built between 1860 and 1890. The area bound by Fourth Street on the north, Pike street on the south, the CSX railway to the west, and Madison Avenue to the east is listed as a National Registered Historic District. Noteworthy historic structures include the fire station on Sixth Street and the Albert B. Koett house on Russell Street. A garden at the intersection of Sixth and Craig contains the Neighborhood Mosaic sign.

What makes this property unique

Diverse. Historic. Charming. Conveniently located next to Dep Liquor Store, Covington Tobacco, Shell Gas Station, and Circle K store for those late night chocolate (or other) cravings!
